I'm a very picky eater and had been wanting to try this place for awhile. I finally tried it today and I'm so glad I did! I got the turkey panini sandwich. It was so tasty and the amount of cheese, onion, etc. wasn't too much or too little. It wasn't greasy at all and the portion size was perfect. The potato salad was amazing as well. I loved that the ingredients were chopped finely; it made every bite taste the same. This cafe provides great food and is a much better option than a greasy fast food place with loads of calories. Like Schwarzenegger said, "I'll be back!"

It is worth eating here even if you are not shopping for furniture. We had the chicken panini with tortilla soup. It was very filling and tasted like a gourmet bistro sanwich. I will definitely go there again when I am in Hickory.

This gem is located on the second floor near the north entrance inside the Hickory Furniture Mart. The service is fast and friendly and the food is oh so yummy. I go for the turkey panini which has spinach, red onion, Swiss, banana peppers and red pepper aioli on a fresh baked roll. I now find myself heading here anytime I'm in Hickory. You're missing out if you haven't given it a try.

My wife & I were pleasantly surprised how good our lunch was, at WOODEN SPOON CAFE, located inside Hickory Furniture Mart. Our sandwiches & soup arrived hot, delicious, filling and were reasonably priced. Service was equally good.

This has become one of my favorites. The turkey sandwich is delicious. It’s definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area. Great service, nice atmosphere and wonderful food. Couldn’t ask for more.

I had the Bacon Cheddar Burger with twice baked potato salad. Excellent! I was offered a pre-taste before choosing sides. They switched the bun to sourdough for my burger.

A hidden jewel! We had a delightful lunch. The food was delicious and the service was extraordinary. I especially appreciated the willingness to modify items on the menu to meet our specific requests.

We were in the area and looked on Yelp to find a nearby restaurant for lunch. We read the reviews and decided to give The Wooden Spool a try. It is inside the Hickory Furniture Market near the North entrance. We were absolutely delighted with the pleasant atmosphere, the personal attention and the delicious food. I love pimento cheese and their sandwich on sourdough bread was terrific. We also enjoyed the tomato bisque. We were able to customize the portion size so that our lunch was exactly what we wanted. The prices are very reasonable and the quality superb! The chef will accommodate preferences so if you don't see exactly what you want on the menu, be sure to ask. The next time I go I plan to order "the skillet" which is grilled chicken over grilled vegetables. My husband loved the Ruben sandwich and the pasta salad. The Wooden Spool is a hidden jewel and a much nicer experience than chain restaurants.
